Yussuf Poulsen wants to leave RB Leipzig, according to a report by Sport Bild. The 25-year-old Danish striker has featured just once for RB Leipzig in the Rückrunde and, as a result, has handed in a transfer request for the new season.

Head coach Steve Bruce has been trying to sign the forward for some time. Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann, in the meantime, is a big fan of the Danish striker, who has a significant impact despite limited playing time (three goals, 11 assists).

The striker has a market value of €30 million, which Leipzig will want to be met by any club interested, especially as the club will have to find a successor. "We don't want to have a major changeover after the end of the season," sporting director Markus Krösche said recently.

Timo Werner clause must be met by June 15

Poulsen is not the only player with an uncertain future. Timo Werner has been open about wanting to leave Leipzig this summer. Sport Bild now claims that clubs have until Jun. 15 to trigger his exit clause, which is suspected to be in the region of €55-60 million.

One club interested are Liverpool and Werner too would be open for a move to the Reds. But the coronavirus pandemic might have an impact on his decision. Players have been very much aware of the difficulties that the British health care system had with the pandemic, which might have an impact on Werner's decision about his next transfer.

Two other Leipzig players are also awaiting a decision on their futures. Patrik Schick, on loan from Roma, and Angeliño, on loan from Manchester City, would both like to stay in Germany. Schick would cost €29 million and Angeliño €22 million, whether the club can afford both remains to be seen.
